Thirty-two would be about right--and none of that paired-spoke lacing either. Good old 3-cross is what you need.

I'm 175, carry a little less than you daily and a lot more on grocery runs. I suffered through two years and two sets of 24-spoke paired 2-cross laced wheels. Couldn't keep them true, and broke spokes with alarming regularity.
